Fate

I remember being in sixth grade
how i was from a family of anger and abuse
I was always hiding in black
using every excuse

The kids were not too kind then
I lived in a world of shame
The kids would beat me, pick on me, until i cried in pain

but you were there as a friend
always stood by my side
you stood up for me
and it was only you that i could confide

i remember our times
it seems as though we soon became apart
we were both sent to different foster homes
and soon we would depart

we both went down the road
of pills, hurt, and pain
we both knew what it was like to live homes
and live your life in vain

I didnt know how to contact you
until i heard from a friend
that you had killed yourself
and your world has came to and end

i remember at the funeral
how i cried and cried
i kept thinking why has this sweet angel just died?

I never got around to thanking you for being there
i wish you knew that i will always care
i love you in every way
and i hope you know that is true
when the world has swept us both away
i will once again be with you

RIP corey stranger
